This gloriously illustrated book documents six Aboriginal art centres – Warakurna, Papulankutja, Tjarlirli, Kayili, Maruku, and Tjanpi – that make up the Western Desert Mob group in Australia. Their mantra of ‘thriving in the living desert’ encapsulates the blossoming of a distinctive regional art movement that has taken its place amongst the most highly regarded contemporary Australian art.
